Teen beaten to death in juveline boot camp.

In case anyone was wondering about the fact that all of this abuse seems to be going on in Cuba and Iraq, don't worry. We've got cruelty on the home front as well, the flavor of the week being a teen dying of internal hemmorhaging following a restraining and beating at a state boot camp for delinquents.

"It was a natural death," Siebert said. "The trait caused red blood cells to sickle and change shape, casing a whole cascade of events that led to bleeding and hemorrhaging."


Because, clearly, things like internal bleeding and hemorrhaging always crop up unexpected. The fact that the kid was tied up and being beaten was entirely unrelated. It's not like that could cause any kind of bleeding. And the bruises on his body? Oh those were from the attempts to resuscitate him. Really. Of course, there were some noticably odd injuries on him.

There were also some minor cuts behind Anderson's ears, possibly as a result of efforts by guards to gain control of the 140-pound youth, Siebert said. No drugs were discovered by the autopsy.


140 pounds! That kid's a goliath! Those guards were probably fighting for their lives. Really, this kind of thing happens all the time, I hear Cheney expressed his sympathies to them on what had to have been the worst day of these guards' lives.

A 14 year old, 140 pound kid with no drugs in his system dies of internal bleeding immediately following held down and beaten by guards, and they respond by saying it was his sickle cell anemia that caused it. Unbelievable.
